I would 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: argue that the FED tightening really began with the tapering 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: of asset purchases in the end of quantity of easing. 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: At least that's what financial markets told us.

Where do you suppose? Who do you 26 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: suppose that ability would talk to it? You know, if 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't know, if he keeps it up for two weeks, 28 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna be on the Trump ticket. I mean, for 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: what I know, Wilbur Ross with us w L. Ross, 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: And it's like, you know, we could talk to Wilbur Ross, folks, 31 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: full disclosure for four hours. We could spend the fourth 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: hour on the art market where Mr Ross. We could 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: spend half an hour on Yale University. We could spend 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: two hours on his radio career. This was a few 35 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: years back MacArthur was leaving the Philippines. But right now 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: we need to talk about Wilbur Ross. Why don't you 37 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: own a sports team? I mean, we all know you 38 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: are well healed. Do you have an interest in owning 39 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: the money making juggernaut of sports where you don't have 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: to build your next stadium. Well, the biggest mistake I've 41 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: made was not investing in the New York Yankees back 42 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: when it was being bought from CBS. My friend Bob 43 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: needle Lander very wisely did buy into it, and it's 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: probably been the best investment he's made. What's the worst 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: pro investment you've ever made? I mean, I mean, everybody 46 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: talks about your successes and banking cold. What's the single 47 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: dumbest thing you've ever done, like not owning the dreaded Yankees? Well, 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: that was one. The other was waiting so long to 49 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: buy my business from Roth Trial. I was a very 50 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: late bloomer. I bought the business when I was in 51 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: my sixties. That's late, Mike. What what would be the 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: biggest mistake somebody would make today? I think probably the 53 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: biggest mistake would be being too negative. I think there's 54 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: so much discontent out there, so much people gnashing their 55 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: teeth about this and that, that they're not perhaps focusing 56 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: on all the good things that are going on from 57 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: an investoral standpoint. Then tell me what what's good. What 58 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: what's going to drive an investment. Well, what we've been 59 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: doing of late is buying the distress bonds of oil 60 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: and gas producers in this country. The shale people, mostly 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: in the Permian Basin, some in the Eagle Forwards, some 62 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: in a few other of the very low cost formations 63 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: were inclined to think that when oil broke down through 64 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 1: thirty dollars a barrel a bit ago, that that kind 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: of mark the low Then, while we don't think it 66 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: gets back to a hundred anytime soon, doesn't need to. 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: If it gets into this fifties sixty dollar range, going 68 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: to be fine for the low cost can service the debt. 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: Or is it that somebody's going to buy those companies 70 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: and the debt will still be valid. Well, in some 71 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: cases it's one. Some cases will end up with the equity. 72 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: But um, we we think that demand for petroleum will 73 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: keep growing, albeit at a very small pace. We think 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: the new production of coming in where the US is 75 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: really going to be the swing producer. It's no longer 76 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: going to be Opec as the swing producer because there 77 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: are other than Iran. The Gulf countries are pretty much 78 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: at their effective capacity right now. There's very little unused capacity, 79 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: so US will be the big swing. And I think 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: the reason it won't go back to a hundred is 81 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: that long before a hundred, tremendous amount of US supply 82 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: would come back. Then our our equities priced to perfection. 83 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: Not in the Wilbur Ross world, but from your mortals. 84 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: Do they look at central bankers affecting policy and the 85 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: distortions of negative rates and can they bring that over 86 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: to equity instability down the road? Well it maybe. I 87 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: think that the fit of Reserve Board should have raised 88 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: rates already earnestly hope they do so in June, because 89 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: I think their vacillation on rates and making it into 90 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: a spectative sport has caused more trouble than the low 91 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: rates have produced good things. You and I had comments, 92 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: i'm gonna say in March on your support of Mr 93 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: Romney the last time around, and then your supportive Mr Trump, 94 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: and many on Global Wall Street were surprised by the 95 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: idea that you would support Mr Trump and your chastise 96 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: Governor Romney. There's been a little bit of news flows 97 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: since then. Bring us up to date on what you 98 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: would suggest. Speaker Ryan needs to do well. I think 99 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: that Speaker Ryan and more vodka place. Okay, continue, I 100 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: think Speaker Ryan and Donald Trump have had a very 101 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: good session. There was a news flash this morning suggesting 102 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: that Speaker Ryan maybe getting ready to endorse Mr Trump, 103 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: and I think that would be very constructive. If you 104 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: see the New Yorker article in the Washington Post, Kaplan 105 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: OpEd on not fascism, but elements of a certitude that 106 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: led to that kind of scary word being used. Have 107 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: you seen any indication that Mr Trump can move to 108 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: the middle of the Republican Party or capture the attention 109 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: of independent voters. Well, I think he has captured the 110 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: intention of independent voters. He did very well in those 111 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: primaries where people could cross over or where independence could vote. 112 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: It's also fascinating to me that the recent exit polls 113 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: have shown that something approaching of Bernie say Anders followers 114 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: say they'll vote for Trump, and I think that's because 115 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: they are interested in doing something outside of what's been 116 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: happening in Washington, and the two figures who represent the 117 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: most outside seemed to be Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. 118 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: What again, from an investor's point of view, what of 119 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's policies can you name one that makes economic sense. Yeah. 120 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: I think if you look at the direction in which 121 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: he's heading, he wants a stronger US. He wants a 122 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: US that makes more intelligent deals in trade and more 123 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: intelligent deals in providing defense for other countries. I think 124 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: those are perfectly logical. But he's provided no roadmap to 125 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: get there, no plan to get there. His tax cut proposal, 126 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: according to the Tax Policy Center, would leave US eleven 127 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: trillion dollars worse off. Uh. He doesn't seem to have 128 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: any plan other than trust me, I'll think of something. Well, 129 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: I don't think that's quite correct. In terms of the 130 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: trade deficit that we have, I think he will work 131 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: to revise some of the treaties we have. We have 132 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: made some bad treaties. I do think he's right, and 133 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: that if we pay for the defense of other countries 134 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: they ought to contribute to that. It's enough we're putting 135 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: our soldiers and sailors and airmen potentially in harm's way. 136 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: At least they can do is to pay for it. 137 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: Most countries in the developed world have far less defense 138 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: spending as a percent of g d P than we do, 139 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: and a portion of why we're spending so much as 140 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: we're subsidizing them. I have to ask, as as somebody 141 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: who's now lending his name to the Trump campaign, When 142 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: you look at the things he says, the way he campaigns, 143 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: doesn't it embarrass you? Well, his style is his style. 144 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: It's certainly not my style. But it has been effective, 145 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: and people say, well, is he really a good businessman? 146 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: Name me another candidate who has ever become a major 147 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: party nominee with spending as little money as he has spent. 148 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: If that isn't the business coup of the year, I 149 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: don't know what is. Should hitters like you who don't 150 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: support Mr Trump, should they cut it checked the secretary 151 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: of State? I mean, should they support Hillary Clinton? That 152 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: would be another more gracious way of translating it. Um. 153 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Hillary Clinton, and so I 154 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: think that they should stick with Trump. I also think 155 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: if you believe in the two party system, and I 156 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: think the two party system is one of the reasons 157 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: why the US has not fallen into a lot of 158 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: the problems that Europe has. If you believe in the 159 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: two party system, you really should support your party's nominee. 160 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: And the reason for that is, if what we say 161 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: is well, I'll support the nominee accepted. It's him, and 162 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: I don't like. Then you're gonna end up with We 163 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: learned we could go on this well before ours. We 164 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: learned all this in Civics one on one. Why is 165 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: this nation having trouble respecting your view on the two 166 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: party system? What is collapsed? I'm not true the nation 167 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: is having trouble. I think that Donald Trump will be 168 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: elected president and it will prove my theory to be correct.
